The bicentennial from the start of the Greek War for Independence (1821) is “an opportunity for historical reflection,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told an academic panel on Friday, ANA reports.
In a key address to the Council for International Relations-Greece, the premier said he envisioned Greece in the next 100 years as a country that combines hard power with economic power, along with the opportunity to practice mild power or be influential in non-traditional ways, through attracting foreign investments. As an example of politics that seek to influence rather than to coerce he referred to Greece’s rise in credibility globally and its upgraded image, as a result “of the way we handled the pandemic.”
This will be a very good decade for Greece, the premier pointed out, “and we will leave the quagmire of the previous decade.”
